Have you ever blacked out before?

I've never blacked out, but the closest I've ever come is on Batman: The Ride at Six Flags Over Georgia (it was raining).

Nope. Never even any "grey vision." I must be lucky.

I've never blacked out on a roller coaster before, but I can remember two times where I came very close to. The first was when I made a trip to BGT a few summers ago. It was 95 degrees outside and we had just waited a half hour in the sun to ride Scorpian. Going through a couple of the curves I started to grey out really strongly. After the ride I had to sit in the shade for a few minutes.

The other time was about ten laps into a marathon on MF during Millennium Mania last year. I remember starting to grey out as the train dived out of the first curve. It was after that happened twice in a row that I decided it was time to move on to a different coaster :o)

Ahh, yes. Shockwave at Great America is a killer. Went on once, never went on again. It should go buh-bye and be replaced with a 4-D, but thats another story...

Don't eat a turkey leg before going on Iron Wolf. Unfortunately, me and my stomach had to learn the hard way.
I had a very light grey-out on Mindbender at SFoG. Afterwards, my fingers started feeling tingly..dunno why...

Also Viper (I'll miss it) at SFoG, Stupid me had my arms up during the launch, and at the begining of the loop, I felt the Gs pull them down like rag dolls...it kinda hurt...

MillenniumForce04 Would rather be riding Millennium Force than sitting in front of his computer...

This past July my vision began to get grey and fuzzy in the cobra roll on Incredible Hulk.  I was sitting in row 5 or 6 I think.  I probably had this problem because it was so bright out and on the launch you look directly into the sun but I don't know.
